Keyboard shortcut to run IDE pinned apps

It would be nice if there was a keyboard way to access the IDE pinned apps, similar to the way we can access the extended clipboard entries via keyboard using Ctrl+Alt+C,1 chord to copy current selection to extended clipboard entry #1 or Ctrl+Alt+V,3 to paste extended clipboard entry 3 into the current editor pane, etc.

A possible option would be Ctrl+Alt+R,# as a chord, where # could be numbers 1 to 9 or 0, to handle launching pinned apps from the 1st pinned app through to the 10th pinned app via the keyboard.

For example, consider the pinned apps in the attached screenshot. For this IDE, the keyboard shortcut chords which could then be used to launch the respective pinned apps would be:

Pinned App

Shortcut key chord

Block Crush

Ctrl+Alt+R,1

Double Trouble

Ctrl+Alt+R,2

JV25 App (Orb)

Ctrl+Alt+R,3

Banking (Dev course)

Ctrl+Alt+R,4

BeeJay IDE PowerToyz

Ctrl+Alt+R,5
